"their '93 performance of it at The Metro is so cool."

Are they good live?

I've heard some pretty bad things about their live performances recently

They're great live I've seen them 5+ times. However their original lineup was far better live, plus the bad things were because Billy was spitting on audience members/doing other stupid shit on the Zeitgeist tour.

Digging: Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics...

that mini-solo before Soma gets all heavy contains so many memories for me. It might be the most nostalgic 10 seconds in my music collection.

Yeah a lot of the drum grooves are fantastic

I still don't know what to rate this, I can't find anything that really bothered me but a 5 is so premature

lol did you listen to mellon collie first gwyn? that must be why you weren't so keen on them at first, and probably why they faded out of the mainstream within 2 years

I did
I heard "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" on the Dead Space 2 trailer and when I started becoming an "album person" I was like well I might as well start here

Suspected that wouldn't be a smart move when I saw that it was 2 hours lol

yeah people can't really appreciate songs like In The Arms Of Sleep or Cupid De Locke until they're kinda a huge SP fan.

I don't know about finest but this is probably one of the most consistent albums I've heard, I'll say
that.

Not a moment is wasted and even the standouts aren't all that much better from the weakest, imo
